Aloo palak

I try to include more Greens in my daily diet and one such green is spinach,which i use in preparing gravies,curries and dal's.Aloo palak can be prepared either in the dry form or a gravy and both go well with roti's.Here goes the gravy form of this.

Blanch the spinach in the boiling water for 5-6 mins until soft,run under cold water to retain the color.Cool the spinach and run it in the mixie to a nice smooth puree.

Grind Sliced onions,ginger,garlic,green chillies to a fine paste in the blender.

Deep fry the baby potatoes(or diced potatoes) in oil or you can even shallow fry (I placed them in a greased oven tray and baked it until it browns on top approx for 10-12 mins).

Heat oil in a kadai,crackle jeera and add the ground onion mixture and fry until the fat separation happens,now add all the dry masalas and salt and cook for a minute,add the spinach puree and cook for 5-7 mins on a slow flame(Do not close it with a lid which helps in retaining the color).

Now add the fried potatoes to it and cook for 2 mins.Pour the cream all over.

Pratibha,This recipe can never fail to amaze me :) it's an all rounder goes well with rice, bread, roti, parathas......oh! so yummmm, Thanks for such drool worthy recipe and snap dear. Thanks for the new tip of frying the aloos.EnjoyTC
